4 years later, thx for the vid 🙏

I think this is the first I've ever seen someone actually use a jack stand! Thanks for the help guys saved me about 600 bucks.

One of the better instruction videos I have seen. No wasting time and all very clear. Great job.

I definitely needed a refresher course on how to change out my front brakes. Much appreciated.. Good solid video.

Me too, I haven't done this since I was a teenager, and even that was with my grandpa's help.

You should turn the wheel after removing the tire to get a better acces to the bolts.....also not sure it is a great idea to grease the tire bolts.......you should also put anti-sease grease before installing the new rotor.

Thanks man God bless you and your family. Been doing all my repairs because of you.

This video helped me so much. Thanks to the mechanic and the guy filming. You both are great

Fine work young man and great channel

Excellent videio. Covers the entire job well. Thanks.

Nice video. Thank You for mentioning socket sizes. I’m now ready to go but it’s a bit cold outside….

Only thing you missed was putting some grease on the calliper slide bolts 👍🏻

Good video, very informative. I thought you could have made things a little easier on yourself if you turned the steering wheel to the left (when working on the pass side brakes) so the bolts would be more easily accessed. Turn to the right when on the driver's side.

Thanks for the tip!! Glad you enjoyed it!

Informative video but, no anti seize on the hub before putting the rotor on?? Thats gonna be a pain in the butt to remove next time around. Also, studs should never be lubed up because it affects the torque values when tightening the wheel lugs/makes them prone to over tightening or worse... potentially coming loose over time. You should have also checked the sliders as those can become seized up if they are not lubed.

Uh, what about torque specs for all the bolts? That’s kind of important

Why does my Ford ranger 2007 have non slip ons??? Can I convert to slip ons????

Thanks fellas

No problem!

There is a difference between 2WD and 4WD rotors.

It's a shame the old Rangers require removal of the bearings for this job.

Do you mean the rotors that have the wheel studs built in to them?

@knottreel

​@@redneckfarmer6584 That's exactly what I mean. The studs are a part of the rotor and the rotor is held on by the axle nut. Looking back on it, I guess its not a lot of extra work and gives you an excuse to change the bearings while you are doing the brakes.

Thank you. Is this the same procedure for my BT50 2009 4X4 Dual Cab.

I have a 2011 Ranger and I just bought new rotors today at advance auto parts.the rotors I got came with the lug nut bolts on the rotors. Obviously I got the wrong rotors?

From my understanding, yes. Is yours a 4x4 or a 2 wheel drive? That could make a difference in the front rotor
